Only then can the huge female agricultural labour force reach its potential to ensure food security and drive economic growth.
Asean should enhance efficiency of fertiliser application, increase local fertiliser production, and fortify policies on pesticides and seeds.
The Middle East conflict is set to have a double-whammy impact on both Asean’s import of fertilisers, and its energy-intensive fertiliser production. The timing is critical as in the coming months, the five major crops, including rice, are being planted in Asean.
